send a position and message (from the DZMx Plus

Long Button Press/Mark Short Button press. Select options from the drop down and

.
Power Up
To send a position report when the aircraft power is supplied to the DZMx Plus.
Take-off and Landing Events
The DZMx Plus can be configured to send take-off and landing event reports at the
start and end of each flight leg. The simplest approach is to use aircraft speed to
trigger take-off and landing reports. This is ideal for fixed wing aircraft. However,
while this approach can be used for helicopters, it is not ideal as it can result in false
take-off and landing reports when hovering.
For helicopters, it is recommended that a collective switch or squat switch (also
known as a
“wheels
on
ground”
or
“weight
on
wheels”
switch) be used to activate
these reports.
To configure the DZMx Plus for take-off and landing events using aircraft speed use
DZMx Connect. Go to Settings > Tracking > Triggered and set a speed just below take-
off speed for the aircraft
, and a landing speed just below the aircraft’s landing speed
.
When completed select
DONE
.
Engine Start and Stop Events
The DZMx P l u s can be configured to send an event report when the engine
starts and stops. Typically, this is triggered by the transmission oil pressure
warning light circuit.
Message Queue
The DZMx Plus sends position reports and other messages to the selected networks
as soon as they are created. Occasionally, the DZMx Plus may lose network
connection, which will cause messages to be stored in a message queue until a
network connection is restored.
The behaviour of this queue can be configured using DZMx Connect. Go to Settings >
Tracking > Queue
Note:
These options are not supported by all tracking service providers. Check with
your service provider before activating these options.
Note:
It is recommended that the DZMx Plus be connected to the
primary power bus on the aircraft so that the power up message is created when
the aircraft is first powered on.
